How is the font size measure in PBIX?

[Anonymous]

We are developing a new report in PBIX using the template created by the UI experts. In their tool they mention the size of all of the elements in px: text box, buttons, font size, etc. However, when we try to fit the labels it does not work. So, how are these elements measure in PBIX, is there any oficial documentation for this. The client is very specific and we need to provide all the possible evidence for the changes that probably we will request.

Hi @Anonymous 

I am no expert on font sizes, but I do know that Power BI uses a default set of fonts, and as far as I can see they are the standard sizing.

You can install custom fonts, but it gets tricky because then every user of the Power BI report also needs to have those fonts install on their PC (And the font installation does require admin access on the PC)

Hi @GilbertQ thanks for reply.  My question was more related to the measure type of the fonts in PowerBI. Sometimes you can see and explicit measure pxl and sometimes that description is not present. In my case this article gave me the explanantion I was looking for:
